I feel so blessed today because I was able to bring A Naked Lady Soirée to Independence High School in San Francisco. A Naked Lady Soiree is a body positive clothing swap that I host bi-monthly at the shop. I was invited to teach students in the fashion club about being body positive and have a clothing swap. I feel so lucky that I am able to teach youth about their bodies and how to love themselves no matter what shape they are.
There was sparkling drinks and sweet treats because I believe we all have to pamper ourselves sometimes. The students supported one another and created safe space by being affirming, "put ups not put downs!". I told them the reasoning behind that is negative statements could put someone down and may create self hatred.
There was one student that was kind of shy so another student helped them pick items to make sure no one walked away empty handed.
Some of the students were all curious how I started my own business so there was even time for a short Q & A.
I am so thankful to Miss Jackie for inviting me to fashion club.
